they call the deer leap"-two crags
about eighteen yards apart, between a
fearful chasm. This is called the deer
leap because once hunter was on the
track OF a deer; it came to one of these
crags; there was no escape for it from
the pursuit of the hunter, and in utter
despair it gathered itself up, and in the
death agony attempted to jump across.
OF couse it fell, and was dashed on the
rocks far beneath. Here is a path to
Heaven. 1t is plain; it is safe Jesus
marks it out for every man to walk IN.
But here is a man who says: II won't
walk in that path; will take my own
way" He comes on up until he CON
fronts the chasm that divides his soul
from Heaven. Now, his last hour has
come, and he resolves that he will leap
that chasm, from the heights of earth, to
the heights Of Heaven. Stand back,

The Indians residing on the Yakima reser-

accompanying weird incantations were for

Chinook salmon. The lodge, a low struc-

direction of Ko-ti-a-con, one of the head
medicine men. For hours the Indians
danced and chanted their monotonouss
songs, until tired nature asserted itself, and
they would fall on their knees md offer up
their "amens" to the exhortations OF the
medicine man. Yakima w IT, itqnot

CALLED BACK,
Laid Out for Burial and Resuscitated to
Stand Triak

The strange case of George W. Wyman ex-
cites attention. Wyman has somewhat
unsavory record. He was divorced for
brutally treating his wife, was dismissed from
the Oakland police force, was prosecuted
twice for fraudulent voting, and has an in
formation now against him in the Superior
Court for that otfense. On Sunday he died,
SO people said. He was out on bail and had
been staying at the county intirmary because
he was i'll and had no means. He went
there for rheumatism, but developed bad
case of typhoid fever, which very nearly
proved fatal. On Sunday last he seemed to
have passed the crisis of his illness. He ate
heavy dinner, and this appears to have
proved too much for his weakened stomach.
He sank rapidly, and apparently died The
nurses laid him out and the coffin was ready.
He was laid on stretcher to be carried
out, when Dr. Dawson, the superintendent
came in. On examination he saw that it
was not case of death, but of suspended
animation. By vigorous treatment the APP
parent corpse was restored to life, and
Wyman is now on fair way to recovery.
Wyman's brother in Sacramento was noti-
fed of the death and came down to attend
the funeral. On his arrival he found his
alleged dead relative doing as well as could
be expected under the circumstances. The
information against Wyman for illegal vot-
ing in the Fourth ward still stands against
him, and there are some people in Oakland
politics who would regard his death with a
great deal of equanimity, and would prefer
to have his resurrection postponed until
later day.-Sdn Francisco Chronicle.

A MEAN TRICK PLAYED.
Advantage Taken of the Innocence of
Venerable Indian.

Venerable Indian.
Captain John, an old Indian who lives on
the Rancho Chico and is a well-known figure
about our streets, was the center of an
amused crowd of citizens on Broadway to-
day. Some one, for joke, had dropped
some quicksilver on the stone pavement in
front Of the postotfice and awaited develop
ments. Captain John and old Daniel,
the one-eyed Indian soon hove in sight,
and the glittering but seductive quicksilver
caught their attention: John made a
grab for it with his thumb and
finger, and he was astonished when
he found he couldn't pick it up He was
determined to have that quicksilver anyway,
so he unwound the bandana handkerchief
from his neck, and, spreading it down, got a
chip and scraped the quicksilver into it. A
look of triumph shot from his eagle eyes as
he gathered up the four corners and emptied1
it into his pocket, but it was soon replaced
by one of terror and disgust when the metal
ran through his pocket like sieve and
trickled down his leg to the sidewalk. Look
ing at the metal for a moment as it lay on
the ground, in puzzled sort of way, he
launched a vicious kick at it, and uttered
CALCULATIONS that were foreign to his childish
nature. "Me get chen; white man maybeso
too smart" He turned on his heel and
left the quicksilver for some other untutored
son of the forest to experiment on.-Chsco

THE UPRIGHT MAN.

The man of life upright,
Whose guiltless heart is free
From all dishonest Deeds.
Or thought of vanity;
The man whose silent days
In harmless joys are spent
Whom hopes cannot delude
Nor sorrow discomfort;
That man needs neither towers
Nor armor for defense.
Nor secret faults to fly
From thunder's violence:
He only can behold
With unafrighted eyes,
The horrors of the deep
And terrors of the skies.
Thus scorning all the cares
That fate or fortune brings,
He makes the Heaven his book,
His wisdom heavenly things;
Good thoughts his only friends,
His wealth well-spent age.
The earth his sober inn
And quiet pilgrimage.
Champion.

amphitheatre, with a hand out, the
fingers outstretched, and then the King
could shoot an arrow between the fingers
without ,wounding them, to what drill
and what practice ought not we to- SUBJ
ject ourselves in order to become
spiritual archers and mighty hunters
before the LordT But let me say, you
will never work any better than you
pray. The old archers took the bow,
put one end of it down beside the
foot, elevated the other end, and it
was the rule that the bow should be just
the size of the archer; if it were just his
size, then he would go into the battle
with confidence. Let me say that your
power to project good in the world will
correspond exactly to your own spiritual
stature. In other words, the first thing
in preparation for Christian work is
personal conservation.
Oh! for closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame;
A light to shine upon the road,
That leads me to the Lamb.

who at some time have been hit by the
Gospel arrow. YOU felt the wound of
that conviction, and you plunged into
the world deeper; just as the stag, when
the hounds are after it, plunges into
Scroon lake, expecting in that way to
escape. Jesus Christ is on your track

but in mercy. Oh, ye chased and pant
ing souls! here is the stream of Gods
mercy and salvation, where you may
